80%
of all projects either fail or run over
budget and over time.The key reason is that the process
and management of the project is flawed
from the very beginning.The need to understand and deploy
a well structure project process is critical
in todays business world.This course outlines the basic
skills of a project manager, the Project
Life Cycle and introduces a number of
tools to carry out what is a very complex
role within the organisation.

Consistency
of process and the deployment of value
added project controls are critical in
assuring long term return on investment
in project activities.Project Quality Control is a skill
set and an organisational mind set, one
that is often overlooked in todays business
with noticeable, and sometimes public,
negative impact.This course outlines the PQC process,
toolkit and organisation.Its a fast moving course with easy to implement processes designed
to get your quality organisation up and
running delivery value from the start.

Testing
is the least understood and the most overlooked
skill in most development environments.Unlike the developer, there is no standard
skill set, testing is often a thrown together
team with little instruction in testing
methods. Testing is often a bottleneck
where little value is derived.This course opens the bottleneck
outlining the fundamentals of testing,
how it should be deployed and the underlying
skills required.

This
course will suit testers who have not
had formal training to date or business
or user team leaders who are required
to undertake User Acceptance Testing activities.

Test
management is a critical skill.It is 50% Project Management and 50% control
of the testing process.Test managers need to know specific
skills in order to manage a process where
they are not in control of the product
in their environment, tight deadlines
and an unknown level of scope that is
impacted by the overall quality of the
coded product.Test managers today require a full
understanding of the complexities in this
area so as they can manage their teams
in such a way to add value to their projects
rather than present another barrier.

This
course is a follow on from the Software
Testing Fundamentals, but will suit test
team leaders and managers who have had
1 to 2 years of testing experience.
